Description

Today's Empires,
Tomorrow's Ashes is the third album by Canadian punk rock band Propagandhi, released February 6, 2001. One of the
album's tracks, "Back to the Motor League", indirectly refers to two songs by the Dead Kennedys, "Triumph of the Swill"
and "Chickenshit Conformist", as well the year of their release on the 1986 album Bedtime for Democracy. The "Back to
the Motor League" lyrics state: "fifteen years later it still reeks of swill and chickenshit conformists". Both the Dead
Kennedys songs and the Propagandhi track concern the co-opting of punk ideology by the corporate record industry.
"Purina Hall of Fame" is a reference to the Nestlé owned pet food company, The Ralston Purina Company. The title is
cynical take on the Purina Animal Hall of Fame, a site that celebrates animals who have saved human lives. The lyrics of
"Purina Hall of Fame" obliquely outline Propagandhi's concerns about animal cruelty.
